Strategy

So far this deck has gone unbeaten, but since i only have three possible opponents, that most likely doesn't say much.

First of all, i know that this could probably be improved quite a bit with the addition of a few more virtual cards. The thing is that i don't really like virtual cards.... so... yeah. But i know i'm being stubborn, so if there's something that's just blatantly stupid of me not to include, please tell me.

Well, i think it's fairly straightforward. Brangus Glee (one of my favorite cards ever) lets your troopers bay-hop for free, and so Elis Helrot is pretty unnessecary. Any losses can usually be satisfied by a gun or two which is then recirculated (i know i should have more Naboo Blasters, but i just can't find them!). If you really get beaten down, forfeit General Tagge for almost unlimited safety, especially if with a bunch of troopers.

The trouble, of course, is in the sky. i know this is incredibly weak in the air, and i can't really think of something to make that better without losing some necessary cards. Suggestions on that would also be nice. Or you can just make fun of me.

Oh yeah, if things look bleak, use the Abyssin for a little retrieval, or a lot, depending on how bleak things really are.
